A deep, glossy black stone point that feels at once weighty and distinctive in your hand — as every stone of volcanic origin tends to. The black obsidian point is a classically shaped polished volcanic glass piece, a quiet emphasis on a shelf, and a meditative point of contact in the palm with your own inner stillness through the day.
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that forms when molten lava cools rapidly. Black obsidian is its most common and most beloved variant — its mirror-polished surface reflects light in a particular way, lending the stone a deep character. The point shape has traditionally symbolised concentrated energy and focused intention in many esoteric traditions across the centuries.
What you can use it for
In tradition, black obsidian is associated with protection and grounding; many people use it for meditation, decorating shrines, as the centrepiece of crystal grids or simply as decor. The point shape is especially sought after for meditation and ritual use — the pointed tip symbolises the focusing of intention in many traditions, which is why it is often the central element of a crystal grid arrangement.
Where to place it
The 9 cm tall point fits well on a bookshelf, meditation table, altar or on top of a living room cabinet. Thanks to the 60-70 g weight, it stands securely on its own base, and the compact size makes it easy to move from one location to another. When used in a crystal grid, the point is generally placed at the centre or at an important focal point, according to your intention for the working.
